2009 - 2010 DELTA PHI LAMBDA SORORITY, IN

C.

Annual

Report

Sisters, parents, advisers, and friends of Deta Phi Lambda,

Thank you for taking the time to look at the 2009-2010 Annual Report for Delta Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. We are excited to include some new metrics this year that give a better idea of our membership size and chapter health, metrics that the National Board will be using for long term strategic planning.

This past year was a year of continued growth. We made significant strides in improving our affiliate member education process among our chapters as we welcomed our twelfth chapter into our everlasting sisterhood. At the past Annual Meeting of the Association of Fraternity and Sorority Advisors, National Board was able to meet with 75% of our chapter advisers and National Board heard rave reviews of our chapters. Our undergraduates are doing amazing things on their campuses and we hope you will share in their successes.

As we reflect on our past and look towards our future, we see that 2010-2011 promises to be an even better academic year as our strategic planning and foundation establishment get underway. It is our hope that with these new initiatives, more will continue to be involved post gradu-ation because Delta Phi Lambda is not just a college experience, it is a lifelong commitment.

On behalf of National Board we would like to thank all of our sisters for their continued dedication, all of our parents for their continued support, and all of our campus advisers and fraternity and sorority life profession-als for their continued guidance. By working together for our mission, we are confident that Delta Phi Lambda and its members will continue to achieve greatness in all of our endeavors.

In everlasting sisterhood,

Hannah SeohNational PresidentUniversity of Cincinnati, Charter Class 2002

OUR CHAPTERSBelow are bar charts of our membership over the past two years, shown per se-mester. Membership natually fluctuates between fall and spring because of the favorability for new members to join in the fall and become sisters by the spring. We are steadily growing in chapter number, however the comparison between the two years shows a very small decline in total number of active members.

OUR PROGRAMS

Photo: Osteoporosis Seminar hosted by University of Georgia, March 24, 2010

Best Bones Forever!Best Bones Forever! is a national campaign led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health. As of September 1, 2009, Delta Phi Lambda Sorority Inc. became one of the campaign’s partners. With our plat-form on Osteoporosis awareness and their relationship with the National Osteo-porosis Foundation, it was a natural partnership. After a year of partnership, Delta Phi Lambda Sorority Inc. hosted numerous successful national events and pro-grams that targeted not only the girls nine to 14 years of age but also to the wom-en and families on their campuses; programs like I D-phi Osteoporosis (Hosted by Emory University), Osteoporosis seminars (Hosted by Illinois State University), and Osteoporosis Fair (Hosted by University of Georgia). The leaders of our chap-ters have worked extremely hard through campus and community programming and numerous advocacy efforts with the vision to abolish Osteoporosis.

Asian Americans: Collaboration, Cooperation, and Celebration (Project 3 C’s)Asian Americans: Collaboration, Cooperation, and Celebration, affectionately known as Project 3Cs, is a project created in August 2008 by the former National Community Service Chair, Victoria Huynh, with the purpose of “promoting Asian Awareness through sisterhood” as stated in Delta Phi Lambda’s Sorority Incorpo-rated’s preamble. This three-day national event serves as an outlet for all of the ladies of Delta Phi Lambda to showcase their heritage, celebrate Asian heritage month on their campuses and within the communities, and as well as promote Osteoporosis awareness. Sisters have shared with the campus and communi-ties cultural shows, fashion shows, osteoporosis seminars, talent shows, and the meaning of true dedication when it comes to providing exemplary cultural programming.

OUR MISSION

How do we carry out our mission?Delta Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. promotes Asian awareness through our educa-tion program where affiliates research and present on different aspects of APIA issues: Asian-American history, important court cases, current events, stereo-types, and notable APIA figures or heroes. As active sisters, we promote Asian awareness through the 3 C’s program: Asian Awareness: Collaboration, Coop-eration, and Celebration. During campaign years, we are involved in APIA Vote, a campaign that strives to encourage civic behavior amongst Asian-Americans.

Our virtues-based education process advocates not only understanding our virtues of loyalty, honesty, respect, dedication, integrity, disciplineand academic excellence, but also really committing ourselves to live by our virtues. Sisters also learn about leadership development and successful chapter operations.

We promote leadership at the start with leadership development in Affiliate Member Education activities: learning about leadership styles/personality type, and how to work together. We develop our sisters into better leaders through leadership programs during Midyear/Convention. These programs are tailored leadership experiences for DPhiL with consultants and speakers like Dr. Lori Hart Ebert. During convention, we are also providing a leadership scholarship in addition to the academic scholarship to reward those who are exceptional lead-ers in their campus and community.

The philanthropy programs of Delta Phi Lambda focus on women and children on the national and local levels. We support programs that promote the well-being of women and the causes of children because they represent the future of our society. The Sisters have named osteoporosis as our national cause. We strive to raise awareness on this subject, host events and conduct projects to raise money for the National Osteoporosis Foundation and theBetter Bones, Better Bodies Osteoporosis Education Project. Women are at a substantiallyhigher risk of suffering from low bone density. In addition, due to their smaller frames and diet, Asian women are at a higher risk of brittle bones and preventa-tive measures should be taken now in our early adulthood.

Delta Phi Lambda Sorority, Inc. advocates Asian awareness and empowers women leaders

through its values-based programs and everlasting sisterhood.
